If you had 2000.00 to spend on a computer what would you get? - GoFuckYourself.com

KMR Stitch · 10-25-2006, 11:14 AM

Well, Can't decide if I should buy a retail box DELL XPS

Or build another custom whitebox pc.
I have a 2000.00 limit just for the PC don't need a monitor.

What is the best system you could build for 2k

TheLegacy · 10-25-2006, 11:16 AM

any computer that can do this

Hollywood376 · 10-25-2006, 11:17 AM

i just picked up a dell precision w/ twin dual core Xeon 3.0Ghz processors, 4 gigs of Ram and a nVidia 3450 graphics card for $23ish.

What's the best way to spend it? Last system I built was a 2.53 Ghz plain old P4, so I am a little out of the loop when it comes to this newer stuff.

madawgz · 10-25-2006, 01:19 PM

DO NOT buy a fucking dell, please!

Mr Yazt · 10-25-2006, 01:40 PM

Buy a Sun box.

KMR Stitch · 10-25-2006, 01:52 PM

Well this pc must have 4GIGS of RAM . I am studying for my MCSE + Security

And I need to run vitural pc's Including Domain controlers and SERVERS/CLIENTS

each PC takes up 512mb's 4 pc's = 2 gigs + host pc = to run the rest

I am looking for the most for 2k.. THe only thing that has me is the RAM..and video cards.. I haven't messed with PCI-E before always AGP

sarettah · 10-25-2006, 01:55 PM

I'd buy a $500.00 barebones box and then spend $1500 on content (or beer...I always get those two confused)

75.00 for a hard drive? There are two in the links I put up. main one is for os

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822136033

149.00 its 10,000 rpm 76GB raptor. The second is just a caviar for data dumping, and its 250gb 7200 rpm. For what I do I use stackable external drives for 85% of the data I have to store. And they run off a file server so I use the raptor to write to while doing any encoding, editing, etc. Then I move it all to the file server each night. What hard drive would you recommend? Raptor is one of the fastest commercial drives out there. My eternal drives are segate 400gb stackables. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822148076

I add them as I need, and I keep a few 80GB externals laying around too.

That processor is the best bang for the buck out right now. Dollar for power nothing is touching it.

it's lacking on RAM and Sound card.. and the graphics could be better for the price

Klen · 10-25-2006, 04:35 PM

There is simply toomany components to pick the right one.

StuartD · 10-25-2006, 04:37 PM

I wouldn't have the system I have now if I had only spent $2k... plus I built my own system in order to not pay the manufacturer costs.

Doctor Dre · 10-25-2006, 04:39 PM

If you aren't a gamer and don't need a big video card you can get a good system in the 1.2 - 1.4k range...

Custom build it with OEM parts... always the best option.

brand0n · 10-25-2006, 04:40 PM

AMD 64 Bit dual core +4600
Nvidia GeForce 7600 vid card
80 gig SATA 10k RPM hard drive

I think that's the main stuff...
